susan rice. today, the president called and he said, i have had enough. >> let me say specifically about susan rice she's done exemplary work. she represented the united states and our interests in the united nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace. as i have said before, she made an appearance at the request of the white house in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her. if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. i'm happy to have that discussion with them. but for them to go after the u.n. ambassador who had nothing to do with benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence she had received and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous. i don't think there is any debate in this country when you have four americans killed, that's a problem. we've got to get to the bottom of it. there needs to be accountability. we've got to bring those who carried it o

there were questions when susan rice went out and talked about it. but he's distorting her statement. he's absolutely distorting what she said. and he's also being incredibly dismissive and mean-spirited. and it just looks personal. >> actually, in a moment where the nation is asking both sides, the government and the opposition, to work together because we have the fiscal cliff, immigration reforms and many other issues. plus mccain is the one that never questioned condoleezza rice when that administration actually lied to the nation, lied to the nation about iraqi war, weapon of mass destruction, and cost the country hundreds of millions of dollars. 5,000 soldiers were killed. these soldiers still, we have 40,000 veterans that came injured from that war. a war that was a total lie. plus mccain was the one that actually, he's questioning susan, the ambassador. he didn't question his running mate when he chose her. he didn't even ask her questions about foreign policy. she didn't know that. the uk has a prime minister. she didn't know what the fed wa
